UPDATED: Playlist XML Librarian v1.3

This applet will list the exported Playlist XML files collected in a specified folder with options to view, edit, search and send (import) them to the Music app. Makes it easy to maintain an organized stockpile of exported Playlist XMLs to reduce the number of onboard Music playlists.

Latest version:

  • UI adjustments and detailing; minimal Liquid Glass added
  • Accepts Open'd and drag-and-dropped Playlist XMLs
  • Description field displays popover for longer text
  • Table displays Normalization value if present
  • Adds "Send to Music app" and "Reveal Default Folder" buttons in main window
  • Adds File and Remote Track Type counts to header display
  • Handles :00.0 length URL entries properly
  • Fixed issue with Filter

Frankly, I would rarely export a playlist as an XML file because traveling to the command to do it—buried in the Music app's File menu—always seemed like a long arduous journey for my mouse. That all changed when I assigned the keyboard shortcut Command-E to the File -> Library -> Export Playlist... menu command. Then I couldn't stop exporting playlists.

Unable to Donate

It is possible that a recent change in the operating system may affect the ability to make an in-app donation in several scripts. These will be scripts that have the "nag" screens; when quitting, you may be unable to access PayPal when clicking the "I'll Donate" button. Instead, the script will simply quit.

I am working on updates. Thanks for your patience.
